- 1959 Chevy Impala Lowrider
As part of a GM economy move the 1959 Chevrolet Impala was redesigned to share bodyshells with lower-end Buicks Oldsmobiles, and Pontiacs. Using a new X-frame chassis the roof line was 3 inches lower, bodies were 2 inches wider, the wheelbase was 1-1/2 inches longer, and curb weight increased. Flattened tailfins protruded outward, rather than upward. The taillights were a large "teardrop" design at each side, and two slim-wide, nonfunctional front air intake scoops were added just above the grille,
The Impala became a separate series, adding a four-door hardtop and four-door sedan to the two-door Sport Coupe and convertible and a five-door station wagon. Sport Coupes featured a shortened roof line and wrap-over back window. The standard engine was an I6, while the base V8 was the carryover 283 cu. in. (4.6 L), at 185 hp (138 kW). Optional were a 283 cu. in. with 290 hp (220 kW) and 348 cu in (5.7 L) V8 up to 335 hp (250 kW). Standard were front and rear armrests, an electric clock, dual sliding sun visors, and crank-operated front vent windows. A contoured hooded instrument panel held deep-set gauges. A six-way power seat was a new option, as was "Speedminder", which allowed the driver to set a needle at a specific speed, which triggered a buzzer when exceeded.
The 1960 Impala models reinstated three round taillights on each side, and a white band running along the rear fenders.
Seven versions of the 283-cu. in. and 348-cu in V8s were offered: the carbureted Turbo-Fire 283 cu. in. could have either 170 or 230 hp (130 or 170 kW). The 348 cu. in. was available in 250 to 320 hp (190 to 240 kW) with a 350 hp (260 kW) Special Super Turbo-Thrust with triple two-barrel carburetors, 11.25:1 compression ratio, and dual exhausts. Fuel injection was no longer an option on full-size Chevrolets. New to the options list was cruise control. Production was 490,000 units.
A lowrider or low rider is a customized car with a lowered body. These customized vehicles are generally individually painted with intricate, colorful designs, rolling on wire-spoke wheels with whitewall tires. Lowrider rims are generally smaller than the original wheels, ranging down to 13 inches (330 mm). They are also often fitted with hydraulic systems that allow height adjustable suspension, where the vehicle is raised or lowered at the owner's command. Given these specific characteristics, while a lowrider is always a lowered car, a lowered car is not always a lowrider. The term is used to describe a class of vehicle, not simply the height from ground to chassis.

Thanks for watching!
Was this car originally from ny and Arizona at some point? Grate car man.
Not sure. We’ll try to find out
Thanks I think it might have been my dads, he sold it before he died. I wasn’t interested in it. Just wondering. He would be rolling in his grave if it was and that’s ok with me. :) great Chanel. I’m personal friends with Rick Dore. I helped him build his first stadium car. Happy new year.
@@jerryakbar6147 it’s an awesome build. Lots of time and detail there. Thanks for the compliment. We love bringing cool cars and owners to our viewers.
Rip bro… Nick 2/6/23
Huh? What do you mean?
He passed away in his sleep. Look online. RIP 😔
@@Houmanian so sorry to hear that but hopefully we can help his legacy live on.
@@TwoGuysandaRide 100% So young and from what I'm reading, a hardworking man whom was loved by many. May he RIP. 🙏🙏🙏
@@Houmanian I’m sure that’s true. You could see his passion for life and cars after spending just a few minutes with him
I’m making cheese burgers 🍔 and Fries 🍟 and Shakes for lunch 🥗
Hope you enjoy!
Big Al 1959 Chevy Belair
Takin' flight!
What type of engine does this car have
A 327.
He said 327
What happened to him ?
How did he die ?
We don’t have any information
Who ruined this gem ? I think it should be brought back to stock !
To each their own
Yes! Jealousy is a very powerful emotion!
No, you didn't make it better than it ever was. Destroying the original stance by lowering it made it a piece of crap. I wouldn't buy it for any price until it was returned to original.
Your car, your way. His car…..
Nobody asked if you wanted to buy it,and you probably couldn't afford it either.go play with your Prius and get off his nuts.
Lol I’ve seen these cars in the same lowrider condition go for 250,000 original like 60k
If you had ANY degree of pride in restoration you certainly would not have degraded this old classic like that. Beyond shameful to say the least....
We think she’s beautiful and he definitely has tons of pride. To each his own!
HATER GREG
YOU should get one,fix it up real nice and we will take turns picking your car to pieces.I like it,this guy put his signature on this'59 because...IT'S HIS !
@@martytruelove5026 Thank you! Unfortunately we've received word that Nick has passed on, so hopefully future comments will be more respectful of the man and his creation.
Stop hating homie. Things people say when they don’t have the imagination to build a car with there own twist.
